If you need custom license – just contact us to contact section and describe what you need.

I HAD LEASED A BEAT EARLIER. NOW IT HAS BEEN SOLD AS AN EXCLUSIVE. CAN I STILL USE THAT BEAT?

YES! As long as you stay within the leasing terms, you are allowed to use it. Selling exclusive rights does not affect previous leases.

MAY THE BEAT BE LEASED AFTER SOMEONE HAS PURCHASED EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FOR THE BEAT?

No. Once a beat is sold “exclusive”, the beat may no longer be sold in any license. On the other hand it may be possible that a beat has been leased to several people before it has been sold “exclusive”.

CAN I RE-SELL THE BEAT AFTER PURCHASING A LICENSE?

NO! You are not allowed to resell the beat (s) or transfer your rights of ownership to a third person.

I WANT TO BUY ONE OF YOUR BEATS, BUT I WANT A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT, ETC.?

Just contact us. Tell us what beat you want and what you want me to change in it. Make your payment for that unchanged beat. After these operations give us few days to apply these changes on the beat. When it’s done I will inform you and send changed beat.

I HAD PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR INSTRUMENTALS. CAN I CHANGE IT, CUT IT ETC.?

As long as you have purchased our instrumental, you are allowed to do changes to the beat-length, mixing, sounds, etc. by asking for permission via e-mail. This includes only purchased beats!

WHAT AM I ALLOWED TO DO WITH FREE BEATS / FREE DOWNLOADS?

All beats that are up on the page as free or downloads are ONLY free for non-commercial / non-profitable use on demo-tracks. No TV- or radio-airplay! It’s not allowed to cut the beat and/or remove voice tags. The purpose is to offer people a pre-listening to decide if the song over our beat (s) is worth to invest in a license! You may upload your songs on YouTube, sound cloud, etc. by mentioning Dr.Beatz (StartRec) as the producer. Written credit must be given to “StartRec” (e.g. ‘Beat by Dr.Beatz) in any case.

HOW CAN I BUY EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FOR BEATS?

You can buy exclusive rights for any beat just by contacting us at contact form.

WHY SHOULD I LEASE INSTRUMENTALS IF OTHER ARTISTS CAN LICENSE THE SAME BEAT?

There are two primary reasons why blanket licensing/leasing works.

First, the 2500 copy limit imposed basically discourages someone from distributing a song with the beat on a nationwide or worldwide basis and limits it to a more local basis. ‘2,500′ is an estimated number that minimizes the chances of two songs clashing with the same beat. This creates fair play amongst all of our clients who license a track non-exclusively. If a person is ready for more than 2,500 copies, we encourage that he or she purchases the exclusive rights.

The second reason is that talent, skill, and exposure plays a large role in buying a blanket license. I believe if you have these any of these three key factors, it should not concern you that other people are buying a license for the same beat. If your song becomes a hit, the audience will think that other people on the same beat are using “your”.

WHAT IF I USE A FREE DOWLOAD BEAT TO MAKE MONEY?

All free downloads are encrypted with tags, scanned and legally protected. If you are making money or otherwise commercially benefiting from a beat without buying a license you are incriminating yourself and making yourself liable to copyright law suits. It is highly advisable to pay the small fee for a license if you want to start making money from your music!

I NEED DIFFERENT LICENSE, CONDITIONS, DELIVERED FILES, HOW CAN I GET THEM?
